Re: Strange image shake on R7

Sorry to be off topic a bit but there are a mounting number of R7 AF issues threads. I'm still experimenting but there are a lot of variables that I can't get my head round. LIke today, to pass the time whilst a car passenger I turned off servo to single shot, turned off subject tracking, subject recognition and eye recognition. Put it on single point focus. Pointed it at the number plate ahead of the car going at about the same speed as us. Pointed and got white square over the number plate then pressed bbf to focus and it jumped with about 7 red squares straight to the centre reservation rails !! I can't find a way of covering something I want to shoot and it permanently staying there. What is going on? Then back on site and with the preferred settings from "Ron's" Whistling Straits video tried to get an owl not too far away flying slowly, against the sky. Seemed to get red squares over owl but on viewing not in focus and no focus points showing at all . Then a few seconds later against a fairly distant grass background it managed to focus on about three out of five in the burst.

Probably need a new thread.
